Well, I don't think they make knockoff K1's. Just look really closesly and see if they have ever been painted, at least that's what I would do.

Koseis are like $120 each, I doubt there is a knockoff of them. Although konig has a wheel (orange,green) that is identical to the new K1. Are they the same company or something?

thanks for the replies.

im trying to buy some kosei's but this guy wants 600 for them. personally i dont think its worth that much considering it has small scratches or cracks and tires are worn. 2azenis and 2 shitty generic both about 30% or 3/32 bald.
everytime i talk to this guy something new about the rims come up. first it was the tire tread was low, then some small chips, then the sticker is gone from i dont know what. anyways heres the link and pic for them. tell me how much you think its worth.

The wheels in the link you provided are real kosei k1/buddy club, I know because I sold them to him on the back of each rim says "Made in Japan" and also a "15x7" designation. The rims are pretty damn mint unless your **** about some lil 1 millimeter nicks and scuffs.

Pics of the rims on my car:

nope. buddy club is in a case right now to get rid of all of the knock-offs (Buddy Club 2, Buddy rims, Kosei knock-offs, etc.)
